Israeli bulldozers, on Thursday, destroyed a water pipe being used in connecting the West Tubas district's Atoof village with Khirbet Yezra, in the northern Jordan Valley.

Head of Al-Maleh local council, Aaref Daraghmeh, said that the pipe had length of 1,000 meters, and was donated by Agricultural Relief to provide the residents of Yezra with water, since the area has no water sources.

Israeli settlers marched from the Kiryat Arba settlement to Hebron, protesting against the Israeli government’s refusal to allow them to enter two houses, Beit HaShalom and Beit HaMachpela, they allegedly bought in the disputed West Bank city. Photo János Chialá / Demoti, 15 January 2013
